To add links to pages: Bring up a TinyPad page and put the blinking cursor where you want to insert a link, then shift+click an item, spell, recipe, quest or achievement as you ordinarily would to chat. To link an entire tradeskill, click the chat bubble in the upper right of the tradeskill window, as you would for chat or macros.

To view links: Click them.

To send links: Shift+click to chat as you would normally.

Links can't be copy-pasted naturally and remain clickable. But the addon Linkerize will allow cut/pasting links with control codes.

Links may display only a handful of characters, but they have many hidden control characters. The EditBox is not intended to handle massive amounts of text, so keep that in mind if trying to cram the entire contents of AtlasLoot into one page.

Miscellaneous

Searches are case insensitive.

You can bind a key to search.

While locked, the window won't go away with ESC, but you can still toggle it with /pad or a key binding.

You can also run pages with /run TinyPad:Run(page)

You can add a page with TinyPad:Insert("text here adds a new page")

You can delete multiple pages with TinyPad.DeletePagesContaining("regex") NOTE: be careful with this one.

Clicking on an item link while a tradeskill window is open will jump to that item if your tradeskill can create it.

One request: ability to set a "title" for a saved page that woudl show up up top. Could then select a page by title instead of scrolling numbers. That's a bit of a design change i know though, so if not i'll just put titles at the top of my note body and live with it

Oh also would love to see a little button to dump the contents of the page to a channel of my choosing (party,raid,custom chan). I guess this would have to break up long notes into multiple "messages." Both of my above ideas are geared towards being able to easily explain fights (boss fights in Zul'Gurub for example) to new players quickly. Basically, have the explanation typed out on a page titled with the boss's name and then when we get there just paste all info to raid chat for others to read and then everone will "be on the same page."
Thanks a lot!

I have seen that mod before but decided against using it due to the text based/manual feedback system (for reporting what step/output number i'm on etc) and clunky interface. The one redeeming aspect is the "titled" notes concept. Thanks for the heads up though.

Those are good ideas but probably this one will stay bare bones. The first line could be the title and ctrl+c/ctrl+v can copy from the window the chat already. At the most I'd probably add a search and a browse that would show the first line of each page.

Yeah font sizes would rock. I had meant to add a checkbox to toggle small/large when we finally got to SetFont editboxes. But with font objects coming in 1.10 I backed off which was unnecessary since the SetFont works the same.

I should note that in 1.10 there's a bug in all multi-line editboxes returning. Filling one line with no linebreak or whitespace won't wrap the line but instead end it in '...' and text afterwards won't appear. Unfortunately it will affect this mod as well as all other notepad-type mods. You can resize the window to be extra wide however so it's not a big problem.

Excellent notepad. I've been using Notepad from the Cosmos package for years, and have been looking for a SIMPLE replacement for a while now. Since Notepad is broken in the 3.02 PTR, it was nice to try TinyPad there and see that it worked.

Might it be possible to add a field next to the page number for a user-defined title for the page? And perhaps a sidebar which would simply list the page numbers and their titles, so that a user could click on a page number or title and jump directly to that page.
